- Mental Health Services Funding: Motion [Private Members] (15 Nov 2016)
Mattie McGrath: I compliment Deputy Browne on putting forward this motion in spite of criticism from some people who have the answers to everything. It is good that we have debated this issue three times since this Government was formed because it is a huge one. I invite the Minister of State to attend Mount Sion in Tipperary. Like the place Deputy Healy-Rae mentioned in Killarney, it is a lovely home,...
- European Defence Agency: Motion (15 Nov 2016)
Mattie McGrath: I am happy to speak on this motion regarding Ireland’s participation in European Defence Agency projects. There is no doubt that Europe and, indeed, this country are under increased threats from the rise of militant Islamic organisations and groups organising cyber-crime attacks. To that extent, we need to consider practical ways to increase co-operation among member states without...
- Questions on Proposed Legislation (15 Nov 2016)
Mattie McGrath: It is a pity the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, is imithe. Paragraph 7 on page 47 of the programme for Government contains a commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities. It is very sad that the previous Government cut the mobility allowance for people with disabilities to convert their cars and that it still has not been reinstated. It is vital for all people...

- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (15 Nov 2016)
Mattie McGrath: The Ceann Comhairle stopped my train. However, I also welcome our visitors. We all realise the importance of this project but there is another serious issue developing in the decision to relocate the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital to the new maternity hospital to be co-located at St. James's Hospital. The Minister confirmed to the Dáil only last week that the new...
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (15 Nov 2016)
Mattie McGrath: It is a very strange situation. If the new national children's hospital were located at the Connolly site, as has been sought by the vast majority of parents of sick children, there would be access to the Rotunda for maternity services. It is crazy. There cannot be a hospital for sick children without having access to or co-location with a maternity hospital. Many of us know that and I...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2016)
Mattie McGrath: I wish to raise several important matters related to the construction of, and the ongoing construction costs associated with, the national children's hospital. As the Taoiseach knows, the construction of the hospital is a key part of the programme for Government, which we all support, and is something we all recognise as vitally important. What we fundamentally disagree with is the...
